In 2015, the Safety Communication Layer of BiSS Safety was confirmed by TÜV Rhineland for suitability for safety-relevant communication up to and including SIL3. In the future, Hengstler will offer this protocol for its rotary encoder portfolio in order to meet the steady growth in safety applications.
To complement our top-ranking hoists mounted on overhead cranes to raise and shift any loads from 63 kg to 250 t in three directions, the steel wire manual and electric winches are intended for other lifting and pulling operations.
Indeed, for some applications, as load travel is necessary in one direction only, winches fully meet requirements. In the VERLINDE product catalogue it should be noted that even if three wide complementary groups of winches enable the handling of loads from 150 kg to 10 tonnes, the drum cable winding method is the same, whatever the model. Bolted to the floor, wall or ceiling or even mounted on a jib crane, the winch fully carries out its job of moving the load.
Seco Tools recently adapted its line of reliable, accurate thread chaser holders to support Steadyline® vibration damping bars and Capto tooling. With special carbide-pin locating systems, patented pocket seat surface patterns and high-pressure coolant delivery, these holders guarantee consistent insert positioning, superior rigidity and effective chip evacuation
Adapted for tooling with Capto C6, Capto C8 or Steadyline GL50 connections, these new holders accommodate a wide selection of multi-tooth chasers or single-tooth inserts that efficiently perform external and internal threading operations, providing increased options and added flexibility for push or pull configurations. Previously available in a square shank design, Seco’s thread chaser holders produce API and common licensed thread profiles across the full range of OCTG materials.
Seco Tools has expanded its family of PCBN insert grades to cover the entire spectrum of hard part turning applications. Using a new bimodal substrate and coating process, these new inserts extend tool life and increase productivity in a broader range of applications.
Seco’s PCBN grade chain for materials ranging from ISO H05 to H35 consists of CH0550, CBN060K, CH2540 and CH3515 and is designed specifically for turning case hardened steels. They incorporate advanced coatings and a bimodal substrate with coarser grain materials, along with optimized cutting edge profiles for long and predictable machining performance.
Kiosks are reaching into more and more markets every day. Their reach goes beyond shopping, as kiosks are primed to impact the way people get from place to another, providing a point of entry for people on the go. Public transportation offers a stress free and comfortable way of commuting. Nevertheless, you still have to be at the stop ahead of schedule in order to buy a ticket before boarding the vehicle. But not with mobile ticketing machines. With these the ticket is already on board.
